Connect back to your roots - learn how to lay and build a fire (safely!) with natural materials. Along with warm drinks and cake!
About this Event

Have you ever found yourself frustrated using reams of paper to start a fire when camping or just wondered how on earth people used to make fire before we had firelighters?

We will share our knowledge of how fire works with you and help you discover the fire basics:

  • the process of how fire works
  • source and select appropriate tinders and fuel
  • various fire-lays
  • exposing dry wood
  • trouble-shooting
  • responsible fire-lighting and sourcing of fuel.
  • fire-safety

This workshop is perfect for beginners or for anyone already skilled in fire-lighting but looking to take their learning further.

There will also be an opportunity to learn about and forage for some local plants for interest, and afterward, we will gather to enjoy a warm drink heated on one of our fires and some delicious cake.

All you need to bring is yourself and dress for the weather.


  • In the event of heavy rain or strong winds, the event may be rescheduled and/or, refunds offered. In the event of lighter rain, the area will be covered with shelters.
  • Welfare facilities are available in the house.
  • Accessibility - the woodland garden is set in a small valley down steep steps so no wheelchair access is available,, unfortunately. We would like to run similar sessions in other areas of Sheffield, so if you would like to join but need good access, please do let us know so we can contact you for future sessions.
  • There is plenty of roadside parking, and the space is a 5-minute walk from the number 20 and 18 bus stops. There is also a place to secure bikes.
  • Cancellation policy - refunds will be offered up to 24 hours before cancellation. To cancel, please email or message Woodland Wellbeing via Whatsapp, messaging Instagram, Facebook or email.
